Singing bad melodies badly with autotune, or speaking over music. Bands that are big in Japan have more interesting chord progression, they use more advanced chords like 6- 9- or 13-chords, more chords per song, and guitar solos are in like every song.

Paul Gilbert's crew once told him that he couldn't play a show because of technical difficulties. Despite no electricity for 11 miles, he was undeterred and played unplugged for several hours. Slash then appeared in the sky, mounting a flaming lion and flanked by Dio and Vivian Campbell riding a dragon. They were so impressed by his immense mad skillz that they gifted him an amp of solid gold. Thus the result is this tribute.

I know a few people who are convinced that nobody in the rock (or contemporary) music world can match the virtuosity of classical soloists. If I could ever show them this, it would shut them right up! Whatever musical genre you're into, this is simply stunning technique.

I am a classical guitar student and I garantee you there's a lot harder stuff in classical repertoire than this. This is hard but after some practicing with the metronome and the right picking technique I made it to play. The hardest piece I ever saw is Villa-Lobos Étude No2. The best I can do is less than half the right tempo. On classical guitar there several techniques that are very difficult although it doesn't seem to.

He just prefers speed over mellowed out slow playing, but I assure you he can sit down with any guitarist and play whatever they choose and he will teach them a lesson or two!

Now that I experienced a little more recording sessions and gigs myself, I'm more impressed by his sense of time and rhythms. Every notes are on points. Not to mention he did it in one take as if it's nothing.

Just some autotune crap, or another untalented person who speaks over music. In western top 20 chart, there is rarely even songs with guitar in it The kind of music western kids call "hit songs" these days are depressingly bad, predictable chord progression and untalented people who somehow have become "stars". Singing bad melodies badly with autotune, or speaking over music. Bands that are big in Japan have more interesting chord progression, they use more advanced chords like 6- 9- or 13-chords, more chords per song, and guitar solos are in like every song. Modern western music isn't like that anymore, it's down to 4 basic chords with no guitar

That skill, that solo, that sound!
The “Yoda” of guitar. PG’s technique is near perfection; flawless.
It's just so freaking clean and precise. Been watching this video for years and it gets me every time.
And the poor guy gets remembered by most people for one of the sappiest songs of the 80s. Most people have no taste.

Paul Gilbert's crew once told him that he couldn't play a show because of technical difficulties. Despite no electricity for 11 miles, he was undeterred and played unplugged for several hours. Slash then appeared in the sky, mounting a flaming lion and flanked by Dio and Vivian Campbell riding a dragon. They were so impressed by his immense mad skillz that they gifted him an amp of solid gold. Thus the result is this tribute.

This version sounds even better than studio one!
Each finger of Paul has a life of its own.
This track never gets old, Paul Gilbert is definitely in my top 5 list for sure.
Most soulful shred I've heard to this day. Never get tired of that breakdown in the middle. Been listening for yeaaarssss
I know a few people who are convinced that nobody in the rock (or contemporary) music world can match the virtuosity of classical soloists. If I could ever show them this, it would shut them right up! Whatever musical genre you're into, this is simply stunning technique.

I am a classical guitar student and I garantee you there's a lot harder stuff in classical repertoire than this. This is hard but after some practicing with the metronome and the right picking technique I made it to play. The hardest piece I ever saw is Villa-Lobos Étude No2. The best I can do is less than half the right tempo. On classical guitar there several techniques that are very difficult although it doesn't seem to.
He shreds so fucking tastefully. His tone is on point too
2020 was on, and I was still listening to these tracks for the soul
After all those years this is still the single most honest and impressive piece of guitar playing to me... Just fantastic. No stage lights no added fx just pure genious🥰

@zardoz jones That might be, you can also clearly hear the unmixed guitar from the amp in the room. I think this is his best take ever. Atleast from all the takes I can find
it's a timeless classic
how have I never heard/learned this riff before... its so dope.
Mind blown by a guitar solo.
What’s most impressive about this is how he manages to move his pick out of his two fingers while tapping then back again in split seconds. Man is omnipotent.

I ALWAYS have to watch this when it comes up. PG!!
just an all around awesome musician. not cocky... shares his knowledge if you've ever watched any of his lessons he is an excellent teacher. one of the cleanest players ive heard which says a hell of a lot. much much respect for this manhe sets an awesome example in many ways.
2:23 - I love the way Paul plays this next part live. It's pretty different from the album version and it sounds so juicy. You can't find tabs for this version either but I'm pretty sure I've seen this version elsewhere as well so I think it's just the version Paul plays live
Watching Paul play this live was one of those moments that stay with you forever.
Really? 45 years on guitar, I'm pretty good, but what just happened? Been a fan for decades, and now rediscovering the gift of Paul Gilbert. Holy S***!!!
Goosebumps starting at 2:23
If guitar-skills are measured by the length of your pinky, this guy is the king. And if it isn't, he's still fucking insane.
Absolutely amazing.
I remember when this was uploaded here and I spend several hours with my tabs and watching this video to learn how to play this. Memories bring me back here the watch this again after all these years.
It's intriguing to me how all the shredder virtuosos are drug free including Paul. These guys: from Yngwie Malmsteen to Joe Satriani are true role models for guitarists and even everyday people.

I am glad thay I can play this song now! I've been practicing this for a year and at last my Sweat and Blood is worth it.
When I get boring from guitar, I can sit my guitar for few weeks but when I came back for this godsend song I'll immedietly pickup my guitar again
もう何回聴いても聞き惚れてしまう最高だわー
Best guitarist of our time...and the time before.
Paul is at the level I dream of being at on guitar some day. Watching this always makes me wanna practice more! Thanks Paul! 🙏
One of the greatest songs of all time. Paul is a mighty wizard.
Will always and forever be one of my most fav videos
a lot of technical players out there are brilliant but this guy can do all that but with his own distinctive style, truly a legend to behold!! \m/

That's the point in the end. There are thousands of guitarists who could play this, but you need to actual MAKE a song like this to stand out. Also you know when PG is playing because he has his own unique style. At the end of the day, you can be a technical player but if you don't create something with it then you're just an audio program.
